Additional text
The Impact of Teacher Leaders: Case Studies from the Field reminds teacher leaders to live in the now. As a teacher leader it inspires me to take a leap of faith and to be more innovative as I work to build a more collaborate vision with my students and colleagues. The reflective questions and examples of the teacher domains is a brilliant way to engage leaders in the reflective process, not only with the case studies presented, but within their own practice.
